Johnson's and Jacob Lawrence's paintings could talk, this is what they would say., In writing his Self-Portrait of Black America , anthropologist, folklorist, and humanist John Gwaltney went in search of "Core Black People"-the ordinary men and women who make up black America-and asked them to define their culture.
